[Franciz]

"Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it. Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before."

- James Buckham

[drarvindr]

"From inability to leave well alone;
From too much zeal for what is new and contempt for what is old;
From putting knowledge before wisdom,
science before art, cleverness before common sense;
From treating patients as cases;
From making the cure of a disease more grievous than its endurance;
Good Lord, deliver us."
-Sir Robert Hutchison


"The secret of war lies not in dying for your country but making the other bastard die for his" - Gen G.S.Patton

My Favorite quote is by Einstein: Touching on "Mystery" which covers the grand. Being humble, I focus on the mystery of human mind/being. You will not hear a scholar speaking here...just what comes to mind, lyrically, and simply.

1) I see mystery as being the ever slight golden refelction in the eyes of a stranger who becomes an instant soul mate.

2) Without having curiosity about the glimmer in the dark caves of our minds and souls, we are barren, not explorers. We will never become the architect of ourslelves. We become a vacant building living on its concrete flatland. But, think of children!, lest this segment gets too depressing!,they are curious creatures and create small and many mysteries to be explored.

3) What mysterious things are going on in our subconscious, some have no need to explore? Without contemplating the mysterious we merely "exist". Like a couch or a coffee table.

4) And what about our epileptic minds?! Surely, we here, are students eager to learn about our mysterious minds. About our electricaly charged minds, complex and packed with mysterious wiring and then sparkling twists and turns.

There is something beautifully inticing in that which might never be known.
The why of things. The mystery of the mysterious.

Do NOT interfere in the Affairs of DRAGONS!

For YOU are Crunchy and TASTE GOOD with Ketchup!!!

[Cinnabar]

QUOTES IN MY STORY ABOUT DRAGONS...

KETCH ing UP! WITH A TWIST: IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE "THE PROPER PERSON" YOU WILL ATTRACT THE "PROPER DRAGON" THEY'LL FEAST ON YOU LIKE FINE CUISINE, WITH THE BEST STERLING SILVERWARE. IT WOULD BE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH.

SO, FOR ALL YOU "PROPER PEOPLE" TRASH YOUR CAVIAR! GET YOURSELF SOME KETCHUP AND HANG OUT WITH THE COOL CROWD.

A QUICK CRUNCY DEATH IS SOMETIMES BETTER. REFINED TASTE HAS IT'S DOWNFALLS.

I'VE MEET SOME SUCH "PROPER DRAGONS", IN REAL LIFE, THEY'LL RUN AWAY FROM YOU IF YOU HAVE BETTER WINES OR CAVIAR! THAT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF "PROPER DRAGON"

AND WHEN IN FRANCE, IF YOU ORDER KETCHUP, THE "PROPER FRENCH DRAGON" WOULD NEVER GIVE YOU A SECOND LOOK!

THEY'RE TWO STRAINS OF "PROPER DRAGONS". SOME FEAST, SOME RUN...


RENT : "DEATH BY CHOCOLATE" STAY HOME AND EAT A BIG MAC WITH "EXTRA" KETCHUP ON THE SIDE! AND HAVE AN IMPROPER DAY!

WHO AND HOW DO DANCING EAT?!!!
